[Boatanchors] LightSquared

Consider this on LightSquared's website:

      LightSquared Says Proposed FCC Ruling Is Legally Unprecedented,
      Not Supported By Technical Evidence, And Inconsistent With Other
      Recent Commission Action

/FCC Must Implement A Resolution That Allows LightSquared's Network To 
Go Forward And Furthers The Public Interest/

*RESTON, Va., March 30, 2012* -- LightSquared said in a filing to the 
Federal Communications Commission today that a ruling proposed by the 
FCC staff that would effectively revoke LightSquared's license to 
operate its network is entirely unsupported by the law, science, and FCC 
policy and precedent. Indeed, the Commission's proposal is wholly 
inconsistent with a proposal the Commission made last week in the case 
of another terrestrial network that raised "interference" concerns.

The company detailed its position in a filing to the FCC today in 
response to comments by the GPS 
<http://www.lightsquared.com/press-room/press-releases/lightsquared-says-proposed-fcc-ruling-is-legally-unprecedented-not-supported-by-technical-evidence-and-inconsistent-with-other-recent-commission-action/#> 
industry and others as part of the Public Notice issued by the FCC 
regarding the proposed action. A summary of that response can be found 
at

I certainly would NOT consider this "Not Allowed".
